11月29日 Today's Horoscopes(I will blog about last night's amazing episode of Veronica Mars later, I promise.)
For the time being, enjoy my daily horoscopes...they made me smile. (Which is hard to do when I'm starting to catch a cold, I hope it's just a cold.)
From Tiger Weekly:
Virgo
(Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)
Your friend might have an idea that you think is really stupid. You're going to want to tell him or her not to do it, but it will be much funnier to watch them fail. As a matter of fact, get the entire thing on video. Your other, more intelligent friends won't want to miss this!
From The Advocate:
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): A promising situation involving someone else may not come off exactly as planned, but it isn't likely to throw you off for long. You'll adjust your game plan to suit the need.
If life were only that easy to understand. It would be bliss! Pure, unadulaterated bliss.
Current Mood: Slightly drugged...OTC cold medicine
Currently Listening to: Christmas in America by Melissa Etheridge
Today's Goal: To go over the mountain, to see what I can see. 11月28日 Warning: Long Day AheadYup.
It's 8:00 AM. The typical beginning of a work day. Except for the fact that I was supposed to come in a little later today due to the fact that I'm teaching a class tonight until 9:00 PM. But, my ever farmer's daughter body never lets me sleep in past the sunrise. So, I awoke at the normal time this morning. Decided I would just putz around the apartment for an hour or two and then come into work.
Yup. As usual, my plans did not come to fruition. After getting ready, I did a few minor chores around the apartment. Then I sat down to watch The Daily Show rerun on Comedy Central and realized that I was preoccupied by the pile of stuff that needs to be completed on my desk at work. No matter how funny Jon Stewart was, I couldn't shake the thought of the many, many copies that need to be made for tonight's class, etc. So, I decided that I would get on the bus. Go to work and tough out the long day on campus, even though I don't have to.
Please remind me of the fact that I chose to work for over 12 hours today when I complain about it tomorrow. (Honestly, I must be insane.)
List of recent accomplishments:
Current Mood: Disappointed with myself
Currently Listening to: Welcome to the Camp by Martin Sexton
Today's Goal: Fake enthusiasm. 11月27日 Giving ThanksI know this is a few days too late, but oh well. 'Tis my blog, so we play by my rules.
Things that I am thankful for, 2006 edition
I believe that I've covered the main topics of things I thank Buddha for daily. I'm sure I will add a few more itmes as the week continues. Current Mood: Drowsy
Currently Listening to: Santa On the Roof by Reverand Horton Heat
Today's Goal: Not catch the germs going around my office (both of my officemates are out with flu-like symptoms.) 11月22日 Last night at my house...I watched Veronica Mars. <Insert shocked face here.>
But I did not watch nip/tuck. <Insert confused shocked face here.>
Instead I finished an okay book, Hell Bent for Leather. Which is not about S&M, unfortunately. It is actually about a person's infatuation with the heavy metal scene during the 1980s. Kinda like I was. Shh! Don't tell anyone. <Insert not-so-shocked face here.>
Well, here's my Veronica Mars play-by-play from last night. Hope you enjoy it. <Insert rolling of the eyes here.>

8:02 PM
Look at Logan being all manly and assertive with Veronica. I think Veronica is going to do something stupid. As all women are apt to do when in relationships that scare them.
8:07 PM
How much do you want to bet that Veronica's being followed by Logan?
"The sherriff's an idiot. I've seen smarter sandwiches," Dean O'Dell
8:09 PM
Is it just me or is this season a little anti-Greek?
8:11 PM
Mr. Sheffield cameo.
8:13 PM
Lamb is such a tool. Ummm...your last story on the morning after pill was ummm informative.
8:16 PM
"Worst Easter egg hunt ever," Veronica. (Dick later called it a Keister egg.
 )8:22 PM
The return of Wallace!
8:25 PM
I miss Mac and Weevil. I am totally okay with the absence of Piz. He annoys me. (And not just due to the fact that he may spell the end of the LoVe.)
8:27 PM
So many options for who kidnapped Selma Hearst Rose and who is behind the campus head shaving craze. I have my thoughts on both. Which I won't share. As I am most likely wrong. And that's just not cool.
8:36 PM
Veronica is on fire tonight.
"The park is closed. The walrus out front should have told you," Veronica.
(Can I once again voice my unhappiness with the fact that House airs across from Veronica Mars?)
(Second tangent - The American Music Awards just followed a peformance by Tenacious D with a performance by Mary J. Blige. WTF?)
8:43 PM
Logan hired a bodyguard. (The person who was following Veronica.) No good will happen due to this fact.
8:45 PM
Here's a recipe that never equals trouble: Gold-digger + blonde + sorority girl + bi-curious + involved with a married man. That should have been predictable from the get. (How'd I miss that?)
8:47 PM
Good relationships are not based upon lies. Veronica should know that. She really, really should by now.
8:52 PM
"Stop skeeving me out, Anna Nicole," Veronica to the aforementioned gold digger.
8:55 PM
Where is the LoVe? Veronica just dissed Logan in the lunch room. (Please don't let her hook up with Piz. Please don't let her hook up with Piz.)
8:56 PM
Just realized that I won't be able to see next week's show due to the fact that I will be teaching class. Mentally hitting myself for scheduling a class on a Tuesday night. Although, I am happy to report I was correct in my assumption that at least one of the sexual assaults was a false report. Not that I'm happy that people falsely report crimes. That is bad. I'm just happy that I figured out part of the mystery by myself.
Current Mood: Fantabulous - just tried the new Candy Cane Hershey Kisses - they're wondrous!
Currently Listening to: Little Surfing Drummer Boy by Malibooz
Today's Goal: Avoid responsibility. 11月21日 Today's HoroscopeVIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don't waste
your time on trivial
projects or activities. Today
represents a brief period when
you can accomplish huge things,
so shoot for the moon and beyond.
Ummm....yeah.
I chose to drink a cup of coffee instead.
I should probably start reading my horoscope at the beginning of each day. Sweater Weather...FinallyYup, it finally got to 32-degrees here in BR. Hopefully the fact that it was near freezing for a couple of hours killed off all potential bug bites (aka mosquitos) for the remainder of 2006.
Also, I am wearing my favorite sweater today. The orange one from The Gap. Yup. Hate my preppiness. Hate it.
 Other than the weather, not much is going on in my world at the moment. <Insert comment about how much I sound like my mother/father/high school English teacher/Midwestern farmer having coffee at the local diner/old person here.> I find that fact quite comforting, actually. I kinda like being boring. It keeps me out of trouble.
But, of course, I have created a short list of things that I have found enjoyable in the past 24 hours. It's what I do:
Well, I should pretend to be productive. Off to work. Current Mood: Slightly chilled
Currently Listening to: Father Christmas by The Kinks (yup, I brought out the AccuHolidays already!)
Today's Goal: Find Waldo.
p.s. My thoughts and prayers go out to those mourning my Great Aunt Betty. She passed away on Saturday, her funeral is in SD today. 11月20日 "We're going Vermonting!" - Marge SimpsonOkay, we're really not going to Vermont, but I truly enjoyed that quote from last night's The Simpsons.
The weekend went very well, even if there wasn't Husker Football. It went so well, that I think it warrants a couple of lists. (I know, you're shocked.)
Another sign that I fear change:
5 Things that made me
Current Mood: Ambitious
Currently Listening to: Stupid Thing by Aimee Mann
Current Goal: Avoid using the ATM until tomorrow.
p.s.  Happy 30th Anniversay to my parents! I hope they're enjoying the day. Even though I am pretty sure they are both working today. 11月17日 5 Quick ThingsI plan on updating more later, but just in case I get busy (cough, cough), here's the most-up-to-date-5-things-you-should-know-about-me:
Current Mood: Bored
Currently Listening to: Lilac Wine by Nina Simone 11月16日 Accuradio-ramaSongs that I have heard on Accuradio today that you should check out (because I am planning to):
Have a nice trip!So, my almost year-long record of not tripping over my own feet ended this morning.
On my way into the main office, I apparently thought it would be fun to kick of my shoe, overstep myself and fall into a 'on one knee pose.'
I am okay.
Just a bruised ego and slightly scraped knee.
I just hope that this isn't a sign of how my visit home will be next month. Where there will most likely be a lot of ice involved.
Song currently stuck in my head: Pick of Destiny by Tenacious D (Darn you Jack Black...shake angry fist)
Last conversation overheard in main office: How Mario was robbed by Emmett on Dancing with the Stars. (Yes, you heard me correctly. On a campus of higher education, there are people upset about a reality show involving B-list celebrities. You should see how heated the conversations get when American Idol in on.)
Current craving: Hot chocolate with marshmallows
Current thought: How is Thanksgiving only a week away?
Last conversation I was a part of: Discussing the office's silent auction for the United Way with Celena. We are plotting to take over the world. At least by not allowing one person to win an item up for grabs, as this person does not deserve said item. (I like speaking in code.) The conversation ended with Celena giving me a bag of candy. Everything's better with candy.
Current Mood: Contemplative
Currently Listening to: Black Swan by Thom Yorke
11月15日 Raindrops keep falling on my headAt least they're causing the mosquitos to retreat for a few days. Trust me, I know that the army de bug bites will be back with a vengeance for the weekend.
Things that make me happy on a rainy Wednesday:
Current Mood: Slightly caffeinated
Currently Listening to: Save Yourself by Stabbing Westward 11月14日 Rainy Day RandomnessBe prepared for a barrage of random postings today, as it is a cold and rainy day here in Baton Rouge.

Currently Listening to: I Don't Like the Drugs by Marilyn Manson 11月13日 The Simpsons Movie trailer is outYou can find it here!
Saturday, November 11 (Veteran's Day)
9:34 AM
Watching College Game Day. Taking a break from reading Everything Bad is Good for You. I am liking this book a lot. It argues against almost all of the recent (by recent, I mean the past 50 years) studies that state that the advances in media (video games, tv, movies...) have led to the decline in society as a whole. The book makes the argument that the opposite may be true, it just depends on how one looks at the data presented and places it into a variety of different scenarios beyond the typical methods of analyzing a society (IQ test scores rising along with their difficulty, etc). The book also makes a great argument on how The Simpsons has made a positive contribution to society. (Take that! All of those protestors from the early 1990s who didn't like the t-shirts that said "hell" and "damn!")
9:43 AM
The temperature in my apartment has dropped 7-degrees since I opened all of the windows at 8:00 AM. Did I also mention that I turned off all of my ceiling fans? Does this mean that Fall has finally arrived?
9:54 AM
I am currently obsessed with Josh Turner. He is a country music singer. He is a hottie. I am ashamed to admit this fact. (I still don't like country music, though.)
10:10 AM
What gives VH1 the right to declare something as "Big in '06"?
10:14 AM
The TV Guide Channel has been uber wrong about the programming on Oxygen as of late. At the moment, TV Guide Channel says that Her Alibi is airing, but to my eyes it looks like Honeymoon in Vegas. I am so petty.
10:29 AM
I did not need to see video footage of Anna Nicole's C-section!
10:47 AM
Cujo moment in my apartment! A neighbor's dog just tried to enter my apartment via my screened window. Luckily, all is well. Nothing or no one was hurt. Just a little shook up, especially Ivan.
12:14 PM
I see a detox diet in my near future.
12:18 PM
I wonder if FX chose to air Cruel Intentions before or after Reese filed for divorce?
12:27 PM
Television stations that have caused me to tear up over the past two weeks: CBS, The Food Network, Comedy Central, Lifetime, FX...this list goes on and on. I really need to get a life outside of tv. I also need to consider not watching shows that end with "...of the week."
2:28 PM
The local ABC affiliate better be showing the Nebraska-Texas A&M game.
2:30 PM
Nope. The stupid Ohio State game is on instead. Good news - Auburn is being beaten by Georgia. And Georgia sucks this year. LSU fans will be uber happy.
3:35 PM
Decided to protest the exclusion of the Husker game from today's television schedule by watching Season 2 of Veronica Mars on DVD.
6:08 PM
Woot! Nebraska and South Dakota State both won today!
Sunday, November 12
9:56 AM
I deserve a gold star. I've already taken a shower, completed laundry and cleaned the ferret cage today.
1:58 PM
Home from taking T out for brunch to celebrate her birthday (late). Saw Ed. Drank champagne. Enjoyed bread pudding. Purchased another one of my short-lived television show favorites on DVD, Playmakers.
4:40 PM
Washing bedding. Reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. (Good book. Way too much detail about the footbinding process, though.) Baking cookies. Loving the weather.
5:15 PM
Need to figure out what I'm doing (if anything) for Thanksgiving.
5:26 PM
I was not aware that Disney owned the rights to Baby Einstein DVDS. The world makes a lot more sense now.
5:31 PM
I just realized that Nebraska will be playing for the Big XII Championship for the first time since I have been aware of them as a football team.
6:07 PM
Not a big 60 Minutes fan, but I cannot seem to tear myself away from watching the Ed Bradley tribute show tonight.
6:20 PM
Does anyone still watch America's Funniest Home Videos?
7:06 PM
"Not wars, global struggles. You like globes," Army Recruiter on The Simpsons.
7:08 PM
"Don't worry, we'll control the world by the time Bart's 18. We're China, right?" Homer Simpson.
7:15 PM
"Who else is going to keep oil to under $100 a barrel?" Homer Simpson
(In case you missed last night's The Simpsons, it was once again very political.)
Current Mood: Drowsy
Currenlty Listening to: Da Da Da by Trio
11月10日 The More You KnowNumber of times Britney and/or K-Fed were mentioned on last night's edition of E! News:
Britney - 22
K-Fed - 12
Once again, Britney proves to be more popular.
In other news:
Current Mood: Somewhat grumpy Currently Listening to: Gloria by U2 11月8日 Moment of Henson Zen Wake up in the morningGet yourself to work.
Fraggles never fool around.
Fraggles never shirk.
Your duty's always waiting.
And duty must be done.
There's Ping-Pong games that must be played
And songs that must be sung.
- Gobo & the Fraggles
<sigh> If only life could be that easy. Sometimes you just feel beigeToday is one of those days for me. At one point on my way to work this morning, I was wearing 5 different shades of beige. Not exactly sure why, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
In happier news. Woot to SD for the voting down the abortion ban! Boo for the same-sex marriage ammendment passing, though. But WOOT! overall.
I have to admit, I spent a lot of time last night watching CNN as the numbers came flowing in. It was exciting to see people excited about politics again. The strange thing is that Louisiana was not a big contender in any of the election coverage this time around for a change. That made it a little less exciting for me, overall.
Tuesday, November 7, 2006
5:39 PM
I didn't know that Courtney Cox starred in Cocoon: The Return. Things that make you go hmmm....
South Dakota had two blurbs in today's USA Today: Opinion about the Abortion Ban and the state blurb about a new winery opening by Sioux Falls (actually closer to my folks than Sioux Falls). Plus, Sioux Falls was featured on an MTV News moment this morning. This is just strange to me. Very, very strange.
5:46 PM
OMG! 50-Cent is one sexy man. The new video featuring 50 and Eminem makes me think very, very naughty thoughts.
5:55 PM
Things that I should really be doing tonight: Laundry, cleaning the bathroom, finishing my cross-stitch project, laundry. What I am doing tonight: Watching tv (Veronica Mars, nip/tuck) and eating popcorn.
5:58 PM
Any bets on the number of times Ryan Seacrest and others will say the names "Britney Spears" and/or "Keven Federline" (or pop culture variations of their names) on tonight's E! News? (Answer to this earth-shattering question at the end of this entry.)
6:02 PM
Is the fact TomKat's upcoming nuptials being branded "The Wedding of the Decade" bothersome to anyone besides me?
6:16 PM
It's beginning to look a lot like Thanksgiving, thanks to The Food Network. Let the turkey cravings begin.
6:20 PM
Today's Sign of the Apocolypse: E! News has just featured Jessica Simpson as a fashion icon.
6:32 PM
"Badger, my ass! It's probably just Milhouse," Homer Simpson.
7:13 PM
I love the fact that Election in on tonight. I love this movie, and not just because it was shot in Omaha and it is Chris Klein's first movie role. I love it for its political undertones and pure evilness.
7:22 PM
The Senate race is already making me break out in hives.
7:37 PM
I remember reading The Pelican Brief in junior high and thinking to myself, "The federal government could never get that crooked." Aww, the days of being naive. I miss those days at times.
8:00 PM
My.Attention.Span.Sucks.Today.
8:05 PM
Ooooh, Keith is so going to get some from his former Just Shoot Me co-star. I can feel it in my bones.
8:07 PM
For the past two nights, my dreams have followed a Lifetime movie-esque plot. One night I had given birth to twins. The twist - each child had a different father. The other night, I was a political wife trying to break away from her abusive and quite gay husband during a national election. Not sure what either of those dreams mean, just thought I'd share my confusion with everyone.
8:18 PM
"It's great to talk with someone where Bogart is not a verb," Keith Mars.
8:21 PM
So, Ivan just fell down a flight in his cage. Stood up. Shook himself off. Looked at me with "Whatcha lookin' at?" in his eyes. He is so delightful.
8:23 PM
You know what tv needs more of? Talk shows. I really don't think there are enough of them on the air this year.
8:32 PM
Am I so lazy that I won't get up and walk 12 steps to get a glass of water? Probably.
8:39 PM
I miss Mac. Also, when did Veronica and Parker become buds? Didn't Parker freak out at Veronica 2 episodes ago for 'befriending' Dick? I do appreciate the fact that they have portrayed a realistic date rape moment with Parker freaking out over the smell of a familiar cologne. That is very typical in situations involving a drugged survivor.
8:42 PM
Wallace as a mechanical engineer...equation not computing in my mind.
8:45 PM
Lou Dobbs disturbs me on so many levels.
8:47 PM
Called it. Keith and the former and current co-star are getting it on.
8:49 PM
Retro moment for the night: Old, I mean OLD, Clearasil commercial starring Danny Masterson of That 70s Show fame.

7:47 PM
Finally in mi casa. Attended my grad student's voice recital tonight. She did very, very well. (Even though I didn't understand 80% of the songs due to them being sung in a language other than the ONE that I speak fluently.
 ) Now I'm enjoying an episode of Courage, the Cowardly Dog and listening to the ferrets chomp on their ferret chow.8:17 PM
Cleaned the ferret cage. Which was a very, very good thing for me to do. Talked to MoSus on the phone. Which proved to be somewhat difficult due to her newly acquired lisp. I will learn to accommodate this change, without too much mockery. Craving baklava thanks to Unwrapped.
8:21 PM
There is something very satisfying about pulling or biting the heads off of fruit snacks (tonight's variety is Hello Kitty). I think that a chocolate fountain would go great in my living room, don't you?
8:23 PM
Austin from the first season of Project Runway was just on Unwrapped.
8:30 PM
I was just informed by the Local on the 8's that the temperature is going to be back in the 80s soon. It's November. That means cooler weather. Right?
8:32 PM
It has been a long week already. Not too many meetings today, but a log of computer (and human) error, along with a lot of rain and wind. Did enjoy lunch with Rosemary, though. (Even though I did bring my lunch, but that will be eaten on Tuesday instead.)
8:34 PM
"Nearly 50% of all of their sales occur between October and March," Mark on Unwrapped. Duh! That's a six-month period, which is nearly 50% of the calendar year I do believe.
8:38 PM
Very excited that tomorrow is election day, which means the end of political advertisements. Although, it's not as bad here in BR as it is in SD.
  for my friends in family who are suffering the non-stop "Vote Yes" or "Vote No" barrage of commercials.8:41 PM
Body is slowly shutting down. Time to recharge.
TV Shows That I Am Ashamed to Admit to Watching
Current Mood: Wired...without the aid of outside stimulants for once
Currently Listening to: How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths 11月6日 Laziness PrevailsI spent most of my weekend catching up on sleep. Not that I've been missing it as of late, but apparently my body feels as if it has been denied the experience.
I believe this is what it feels like when doves cry. (I know that it's supposed to be 'sounds,' but that didn't fit in the scenario very well. Plus, I'm sure Prince is okay with me taking some poetic liberty.)
Sunday, November 5 (aka T's Birthday)
4:10 PM
Watching Why I Wore Lipstick to My Masectomy on Lifetime. Rather enjoyable made-for-tv-movie. (Much better than the hatchet job they did on MY Heathers and the lovely Cruel Intentions 3 with Kerr Smith. Yup, I watched CI3. It was bad. Hilariously bad.)
Enjoying the weather from inside of my apartment. As all weather should be enjoyed when one doesn't feel like changing from her jammies.
Making my own personal "Songs That Make Me Go Hmmm...80s Edition." (See later in this passage.)
4:19 PM
Darn Food Network made me cry. I was watching an innocent create your own candy castle competition, loving the fact that the local grandma won and WHAM! there was the black screen stating that the show was 'In Loving Memory' of the winner, "1950-2006." That's just evil. I had to do a double-take on which station I was watching, as that is a very Lifetime thing to do.
4:36 PM
Why do I start hyper-ventilating every time I think of going to work?
4:45 PM
I cannot help but wonder whether or not I have every made a life-altering decision based upon who I really am OR who I would like to be?
4:50 PM
I am rather upset at the fact that my local cable outlet is unable to broadcast the E! Channel at the moment. (Going through gossip withdrawl.)
5:01 PM
I need a personal mantra.
5:13 PM
I wonder how much I would make as a professional dominatrix?
5:26 PM
One of my deepest fears: That I have already peaked in life.
5:43 PM
Sarah Chalke as a patient married to a doctor instead of being a doctor on tv is messing with my head.
6:00 PM
Sweet! Three episodes of The Simpsons in a row.

It has been a long week. Not a bad week. Just a long one. One that I'm happy to say will be over with (at least work-wise) within 4 hours of now.
I have been pretty anti-social this week, for a variety of reasons:
On the other hand, I have been rather productive this week too:
I have also been accutely aware of the weirdness that is VH-1 this week:
Finally, it's been a week where I realized that I am truly getting old. Mainly due to the fact that I actually said "It's too cold outside to be wearing that outfit/costume." Hopefully next week will bring more excitement. Current Mood: Worn out Currently Listening to: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman |
